# Environments

## Sandbox

The Boost sandbox environment is perfect when your development team is looking to understand the APIs in more depth or to begin integrating to sell a specific Insurance Product. To start building with Boost, submit a [sandbox request](https://boostinsurance.io/build-a-program/) and a member of our Growth Team will get back to you with next steps. If your team is looking to launch an existing Product, we will provide a reference environment. If you are interested in building a new Product not currently offered then Boost will provide access to a sandbox that’s similar. Once you sign with Boost as a Partner, the sandbox can be utilized to test new features.

After you request access to a [sandbox environment](https://boostinsurance.io/build-a-program/), take a look at the baseline [API Documentation](https://docs.boostinsurance.io/). As part of Sandbox delivery, you will receive an additional set of API documents tailored to the specific Product(s) you selected. 

## Production

Boost’s production environment is available to our signed distribution partners. Insurance is regulated at a state level and your ability to sell in each state is made available in Production as your appointments (defined later) are granted.
